I recently stayed at this lovely condo on a girl’s trip.
It accommodated 5 girls comfortably. Each room
had its own air conditioner, which was nice and
cool. I did like the fact that during the day, you
could open all the windows and patio doors front to
back, and enjoy the tropical breeze and sounds of
the ocean.
The kitchen had everything you would need. Bottled
water was constantly provided. We enjoyed the
huge window in front of the kitchen sink, that we
left open most of the time and was handy for
refreshing the margarita glasses.
Everything was super clean. We had the same
housekeeper daily and she took care of us and even
did our dishes. We stopped at the grocery store in
town and bought breakfast items and tequila and
beer. That was a pretty good little store. I t had a
large frozen food section and enough of everything
we needed.
The owner provided a list of her families favorite
restaurants. Most were outdoor seating and we
were all ways in our bathing suits. I was very
surprised at the good quality of food. One place
had amazing pasta.We had pizza delivered one
night and it was good. We ate out for every meal,
drank everything with ice, and no one in our party
ever got sick. I have gotten sick at a 5 star in
Cancun before. Speaking of getting sick, of all the
people we met there, no one even knew of anyone
ever getting swine flu, and a lot of the folks in this
town stay there a good part of the year/season.
Right out side our door we went snorkeling. Five
steps and you are in the ocean. There were many
different swimming beaches close by. You can walk
to town, but we had a rent car ,which was very
handy and I do recommend it.
If you want a massage, there is a place in town that
the neighbor next door recommended and he said
was good.
I bought a nice hand woven bag, not your typical
curio. in the village, at an artisan's boutique. It has
become my purse of choice for the summer and I
get compliments every day. .
We have been going to Mexico for 30 years, usually
to Playa del Carmen. Most everything is now all-
inclusive, and has gotten more expensive, and we
just tired of the same buffet every meal. I had never
tried a condo before and the experience was much
better. It helped that the owner was great to work
with!
My husband just informed me that he was ready for
a beach trip, and I am booking our next trip in this
condo again.

| We have been going to Akumal almost every year since 1994 and have stayed in many different condos. This condo has become our favorite for many reasons. Great location, beautifully furnished, best equipped kitchen yet and very helpful owner. Beach towels provided so we didn't have to pack ours. Snorkling a few steps away, A/C effective, very comfortable beds. Plenty of room for two couples. We'll be going back. |
